Many apartments/condominiums have a private pool. Malaysia is among the few countries in the world where you can find people swimming with clothes on. Although there is a dress code to adhere to, people are simply not civilized enough to follow it.

Recently, dress codes in private pools at apartments/condominiums have been relaxed to allow for additional modesty. Many pool operators allow people to swim fully clothed if they can prove that they have a second set of clothes that are only for use in the pool, and if they are willing to go through the showers in this second set of clothes prior to entering the pool. I would understand and fully agree if this applies to women, but that is a man in the pool.

In more developed countries, private pools simply do not allow clothed swimming for hygienic reasons. I would never go into a pool if I see someone there fully clothed. Maybe that’s the reason why I have not swim in a pool for a long time.
